3 Reasons TFIOS Movie Will Be Just As Epic As The Book

Now that The Fault In Our Stars is coming to life on the big screen, you may be feeling that nervous panic of whether or not the film will live up to the incredible masterpiece that John Green wrote. But after a massively tear-filled experience watching the film at the TFIOS fan event, we can firmly say that this beautiful film is everything you'd ever want it to be!

Here are just a few reasons you'll be just as obsessed with the movie as you are with the book.

1. John Green Was On Set, Crying Every Step Of The Way

The author of the beloved YA novel was on set, watching (and approving) every cut and helping to bring his story to life in an authentic way. "I feel like they really honored my book, and I think that's a rare feeling for an author to have when a book is being adapted into a movie, so I was just kind of overwhelmed with gratitude the whole time," John said. And when the author of the book is in tears during every take, you know you can trust the movie will turn out how you hoped it would. "I cried almost every day. I cried because it was so overwhelming to me that all of these really talented people were bringing so much passion and talent to the story that I had written and giving it a new life," John added.

2. The Cast Worships The Book As Much As We All Do

From Hazel nervously checking her phone under the dinner table to see if Augustus texted her back to having real kids with cancer be a part of the support group in the film, the big-screen version really brings John Green's words to life. And it wasn't just good acting—the actors were just as moved by the story as you were when you read (and re-read) it. "I didn't want to do this movie as an actor, like, 'Look at me cry!' It was more that the book moved me so much—it was our duty to protect it, nourish it, and make sure that the movie retained the integrity that the book had," Shailene Woodley (who plays Hazel) said. "I love that in their intimate scene, they're passionate with each other and a little bit awkward and a little bit uncomfortable, and I just thought it was handled with such care."

3. Hazel and Augustus's Relationship Is Just As Amazing IRL

Even though they're just friends IRL, their bond off-screen helped Shai and Ansel really bring to life the incredible love between Hazel and Augustus that made us so obsessed with the book. During the Q&A, Shailene and Ansel Elgort (who plays Augustus) couldn't stop gushing about each other—making all of our hearts melt knowing they love each other just as much in real life as their characters did on-screen. "I love so many things about Ansel," Shai said. "He looks at the world every day with a new set of eyes. He's the most creative person I've ever met. I'm just constantly inspired by him." Ansel also raved about his co-stars, calling the experience magical. "I remember being with these people who I'd really come to love—a word I don't use lightly—and what a gift it was to be with them."

So if you've been just as obsessed with the book as we all have, run, don't walk, to the theater when TFIOS finally comes out on June 6!
